HINGE Filed April 27, 1932 ff, /X e f6 l INVENTOR Patented May 23, 1933i UNITED STATES WILLIAM I. GODFREY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK HINGEApplication led April 27,

An object of the invention is to provide a hinge having a bolt movablelongitudinally of the hinge pintle for disposal in an opening orguideway.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hinge having a hollowpintle in which the bolt is movably disposed. Resilient means areprovided for holding the boltA yieldingly extending relatively to thehollow pintle, and means are also provided for limiting the movement ofthe bolt and forsecuring the bolt within the hollow pintle.

A further object of the invention is to limit the withdrawal of the boltinto the hollow pintle and to hold the bolt in its withdrawn position.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the followingspecification in which the preferred form of the invention is described.

In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts inthe several views, of which Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of a windowframe having sashes which are c o1inected by the hinges which are thesubject matter of this application.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the hinge which is the subject matter ofthis applica tion.

Figure 3 is a sectional View on the line 3*-3 of Figure 2, and Y Figure4 is an end view, the leaves being omitted. t

The hinge which is the subject matter of this application may be usedfor various purposes, but is particularly well adapted for the windowwhich is the subject matter of the Patent No. 1,858,149, issued May 10,1932.

The hinge has two leaves, one of which is shown at 5 in Figure 3 of thedrawing, a knuckle or knuckles being secured to each of the leaves ofthe hinge. In the drawing three knuckles 6 are shown secured to the1932. Serial No. 607,820.

leaf 5, there beingtwo knuckles 7 secured to i the other leaf of thehinge. The leaf 5 is preferably secured to the sash 9, while thecompanion leaf is preferably secured to the sash 8. Therefore, it willbe seenthat the knuckles 6 will be secured relatively to the sash 9.

Disposed in the knuckles 6 and 7 there is a cylindrical pintle 10 whichis securedto a knuckle 6 at one end of the hinge by means 55 of turningover the end of the cylindrical pintle 10 at 11 for gripping the saidknuckle 6. At the other end of the hinge is a flange 12 ,is turned overand is disposed in a recess 13 in the other end knuckle 6. With this 60construction it will be understood that the cylindrical pintle l0 isprevented from rotating relatively to the knuckles 6 and is alsoprevented from longitudinal movement relatively to the said knuckles.The end 6 5 14 of the cylindrical pintle 10 extends beyond the knuckles,as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. This end 14. of the cylindricalpintle 10 has a slot or `guideway V15, there being a bolt 16 disposed inthe cylindrical 7(7)VA pintle 10, the bolt 16 having a projection 17disposed for movement in the slot or guideway '15.

Disposed on the outer end 14l of the cylindrical pintle 10, there is acollar 18 which 75 has a head 19 with arcuate guideways 2O through whichianges 21 extend from the cylindrical pintle 10, the flanges 21 beingbent over the vouter side of the head 19 to prevent the outwardmovementof the cols l lar 18 relatively to the cylindrical pintle 10and'also to limit the rotary movement of the collar relatively to thecylindrical pintle 10. The inner end of collar 18 is spaced from theadjacent knuckle 6 so lthat the pro- 85 jection 17 on the bolt 16 maytravel in the slot or guideway 15 in the cylindrical pin# tle l0 beforereaching a slot or guideway 22 in the vcollar 18. Writh thisconstruction the .collar 18 may be rotated to move its slot or 90guideway 22 out of alinement with the slot or guideway 15, and therebylimit the withdrawal of the bolt 16. It will also be seen that thecollar 18 has a lateral recess 23 extending from its slot or guideway 22so that when the bolt 16 has been fully withdrawn the collar 18 may berotated to receive the projection 17 in its recess 23 and thereby holdthe bolt in this withdrawn position. rlhe bolt 16 has a shoulder 24 andbetween this shoulder and the head 19 there is a spring for holding thebolt yieldingly extended.

When the hinges, which have been described, are used in connection withthe sashes 8 and 9, two hinges will be employed, one at each side of thesashes, the leaves ot the hinges being secured to the sashes to connectthem together in the. well known manner. With this construct-ion, thebolts 16 may be held extended by the vsprings 25 in the guideways 26 inthe window frame 27 and in engagement with teeth 28 of racks which aresecured in the guideways 26, it

Vbeing possible to withdraw the bolts 16 by pulling on a cord 29 whichhas its ends secured to the inner ends of the bolts 16. When the collars18 are positioned as shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing, the bolts16 may be withdrawn from the teeth 28 and also from the guideways 26,and the bolts 16 may be held in this withdrawn position by rotating thecollars 18 so that the projections 17 will be disposed in the recesses23. When it is desired to withdraw the bolts 16 from the teeth 28 butnot from the guideways 26 the collars 18 will be rotated to move theirslots or guideways 22 out ot e alinement with the slots or guideways 15tle disposed in the knuckles,

and the withdrawal of the bolts 16 will be limited .by the engagement ofthe projections 17 with the inner ends of the collars 18.
